Although a review has to be no shorter than 150 words, I am not gonna go on and on praising Stoker'smasterful work for I might not do justice to the work of art it is.
The story is set in older times. The story is told via journals/letters of the narrators. This might throw off ''starters'' for the writing style is not quite prevalent, but once you get familiar with Stoker's style of writing, you find it is a pleasant deviation from the normal narrative styles.
A little dark but then again the book talks about issues pertaining to mortality and how Count Dracula takes upon himself to stand up against God so to speak.
Issues more humane are also dealt with in a clinical manner.
As you read on, you would wish that you could get through the book in one sitting... such is the captivating power of this particular writing.
All I have to say is the story telling is unique and the story never loses the thrill.
If you haven't read this amazing piece of writing thus far, don't wait a second longer. I guess it is safe to say that you will not be disappointed one bit, for Bram Stoker has inspired one and all who have read this gem of a book.
